Making pancakes into various shapes and sizes can be difficult -- especially when you're working under the pressure of a heated stove. These Totoro pancakes by I Am a Food Blog are made using a handmade batter poured into circles that are then punched out into round rabbit shapes using a cookie cutter. Two eyes are added using leftover pancake and melted chocolate is use to emulate the animal's fur.
